After doing a little bit of digging, these seem to be very similar to the Mott Stage Platform 2,0 x 1,0m ODSC (€559 /£476.67 new on the retailer website I found), if they aren't the actual one. I also stumbled across a similar looking model by a manufacturer named Diprofa, but the images I saw didn't resemble what Laura had quite as well as the Mott. Hope this helps people find ones for their use a bit quicker, depending on how much info a seller provides. Laura, I don't suppose you have specific model info you'd like to put in a pinned comment?

Mine are from the company Schnakenberg. But there are many other companies that make them. If you don‘t need them to be height adjustable you can also just get the Pedestal and cut the legs to your desired height. Those are even cheaper.

that magic arm holding the camera idea is so nice. you always want that camera angle above the middle of the table where a three leg tripod cant reach.

Yes-it works so well. Even having the magic arm on a tripod is a really cool solution for interesting angles and quick changes of perspective.

Good old Schnakenberg stage elements. :) I am a sound engineer & stage technician from Germany & share a hate love with these elements. Nice concept, but if you're building a stage with 100 of them, you're getting wasted, because they're really heavy. Great idea, I got a bunch of these old elements too & also decided to use one as workbench. I use the element with a motor & a lift, so i can use it also for working on bikes etc..

Genius! Prices of second hand stage elements has just skyrocketed! ! 😀

Adam Savage uses doctor's stools as shop stools, Laura uses staging elements for workbenches. I think once you reach a certain level as a maker you start seeing the potential in equipment outside of the standard range of what's found in a shop. Then it turns out that creative hunch leaves you with something that works better for less money than what's available on the market.

Adam also uses the carts that Stewardesses use to serve drinks

Using the clamps through the table + the magic arm for filming are both *such* awesome time-savers. Love it!

What a creative build! Additionally, I'm building a cart for my MFT and your power strip solution is a perfect addition - thanks for the great idea.

This is amazing, we have a yearly play that involves a lot of construction, painting and mostly shoddy use of powertools for the set and we use the exact same stage platforms as workbenches for the construction part of the project (and they utlimately go back to be the stage). They are sturdy as hell and the best thing is that they are lent to us by for almost nothing.

It's always enjoyable to watch someone take something and repurpose it, even down to milling the bolt for the bench dog and modifying the f-clamp, it shows a lot of ingenuity.

Making one of those from scratch is also an option now that you've shown us exactly how they're built. I'm watching this while repairing plastic toys for my kids, I'm really missing my carpentry shed over winter...

This was an interesting project. With a lot of folks you either love "shop organization" videos, or hate them. Me, I'm somewhere in the middle. What I really like about this though, is that it's repurposing an existing product, especially if it can be found used and considerably cheaper than buying something new. I'm not a woodworker so much as a fabricator working with all kinds of materials, so something simple and sturdy like this appeals to me. You really increased the utility of these benches amazingly by drilling the holes and adding the edge details. I don't have the space for something like this right now, but you can be sure this idea has been committed to a short list of "great shop ideas" and I'll be on the lookout for these sorts of "benches" in the future when I'm able to set up my own dedicated shop space.

I've been looking for a new workbench for a while and was going to make one out of Aluminium extrusions and plywood. I might now try to source one of these stage sections locally to me. Thanks for the idea/suggestion.

I've been tinkering with making a height adjustable desk/project table. This could work quite well. Glad to have had this channel suggested for me.

Absolutely love this workbench, I am a wheelchair user so the height adjustability really is something else! Now just hope my new home to be will have space for something this size, especially love the ability to add lighting and cameras, and I love the colour you chose too. Thanks so much, I know people who may be able to find one of these for me.

OUTSTANDING! There is nothing more satisfying than successfully modifying a workspace. Cheers, Laura - Thanks for sharing & Happy Sunday:)

That is the most creative and functional desk I've ever seen! If I had to make any modifications to it I'd hammer metal inserts into the grid holes so they don't wear out with frequent use.

Really appreciate your verbal/visual organization of all you videos. The information is top notch. Wishing you great continued success.

Absolutely insane how good these ideas are. Inspirational.

Excellent way to repurpose something for your use. The height adjustments on those legs are such a great feature. Your videos are such a treat to watch...always look forward to notifications. 😎

Very creative. Its crazy how many times i had been amazed on they way she sees things and projects she does.

Yeah! So many cool things in one video! This rusty desk lamp looks amazing!

this is the greatest thing i've ever seen, and i must make one immediately. thank you so much for this Maximum Utility gift, it's such an elegant solution to so many every day challenges.

Simply brilliant, Laura! Cologne is gonna be sold out of stage elements in 3...2...1...

You're always a Sunday morning highlight. Well done.

I have been wanting to build a table that is adjustable in height so we can serve as a coffee table as well as a dining room table and a gaming table. This would be absolutely perfect! Thank you so much for sharing.

VERY cool. I didn't realize the whole didn't go across the entire top. And I also thought you were going to put a plastic sheet on top. But your mods are FANTASTIC. It's awesome that you build what you need, instead of waiting for someone else to sell it. (Hi Smudo)

Laura you’re a genius! Love this idea and the execution... going to look for stage elements online right now...

Just came across this older video of yours. Awesome bench, love the additions especially the sliding power board.

Das beste Video! I‘m looking for an MFT , and Festool is so expencive. Best idea ever! I will do it like you.

I love how versatile you have made this!

That German mind-set of engineering is always the beat! Your modifications are fantastic! I can't believe you'll be able to improve on your videos but maybe so! Love your work Laura. You are by-far one of my favorite professionals. Thank you. and I always love seeing Smoodoe (sp?)

You rock Laura! Your content only keeps getting better and better. This project is awesome, im gonna try to find a second hand stage piece as well!

A movable power strip!? Great idea! The bench modifications look perfect for your setup and are very inspiring. Another awesome video :) Also your pup looks adorable! Always a fun addition to your videos.

Love the magic arm for the camera. Really nice! Of course the clamps too.

Great video and adaptation of abandoned hardware from event staging. Making call to get a couple of these right now. 👍🏼

So many good ideas in this video! I love the lamp and camera mounts.

Beautiful project, as indeed all your creations. Thanks Laura, your dexterity and your inventiveness are spectacular. I always follow you. SL

You did a superb work bench. I have seen woodworkers use the uk parf drilling .You did not need this uk drilling guide save your self some money. Laura you make nice woodwork projects.

Fantastic, Laura! I’ve been wondering where you got these for so long. Can’t believe I didn’t think of stage elements! I’d love to motorise at least one so I can load them low and raise them up. Thanks for the video 👍

This is what makes your channel so amazing Laura - really clever use of materials and ways of solving the problems you encounter! thank you!

Oh that thing you did with the clamp !! PrAcTiCaL to the max ! :) Great video thank you !

Brilliant stuff. I’m glad Smudo loves it too.

Super rad work top! I still need a smaller one, because of lack of space. Something maybe 1/3 of the size.... Anyway, you have a really neat way of designing repurposing and building stuff. I love the dust free cutting etc.

This is the first video of yours I have watched, very impressed with the content and the project.

Re-watching this and i still geek out the moment the lamp / bolt fit perfectly in the grid. 😶🤯

I once saw old hospital beds used as workbenches. They can be height adjusted very easy also and, they have wheels so you can move them in your workshop if needed.

Very nice ideas ! Looks like I'm changing my work bench layout.

Hallo Laura, super Idee. Ich habe mächtig über mich lachen müssen, dass mir die Idee nie selbst kam. Ich habe 5 Jahre Theater gemacht und ständig diese Teile durch die Gegend getragen. Aber die Verbindung Holzarbeit und Bühnenpodest. Danke für die Idee!

I love your projects Laura. Thanks for this interesting video !!! I really liked the versatility of your table and I bought a used Rosco Nivoflex that I also use as a work table. The best workbench I have ever had. Great idea!!!!

Nice bench! Love it! I built my workbench out of wood and it took me so long to make. I like that your height is adjustable. That's a nice option!

Wauw, what a very nice workbench!! with that handy grid! Wonderful!

Awesome workbench! Love all the modifications - so functional. Even Smudo seems to agree :-)

smudo's participations are always awesome

That's just awesome! Wish these were more easier to find a good price on here. A quick look online have me sticker shock. Love how the elements fold up. That's ideal.

it's always fun to watch you work and modify things

Genius solutions! What an amazing project! Love your videos, so high quality stuff!

I am soooo happy for you Laura! You are so clever!!!

Great job! Simple and practical, it deserves a blue thumb!!

Cool, there were lots of questions on Instagram with what kind of jig you did the holes and then it was just manually by measuring 😁 sometimes the easiest things are absolutely enough, well done 👍 👍👍

That rail idea is very nice. Thanks 👍🏼

Haha I have exactly the same - four of them. I use them as stages AND as workbench as I am storing them in my shop anyways. Bought them used, 20 years old, but they are still super solid and will last me at least 20 more years ;-)

Nice use of staging. You can buy Cnc cut jigs for routing the holes at exactly 96mm centers. Makes it useful with your tracksaw for square and 45 degree cuts.

Smudo is the best . Bench too . Thank you Laura !

Ich sehe diese Bühnenelemente an vielen, vielen Wochenenden, aber da bin ich noch nicht drauf gekommen. Die ersten zehn Sekunden im Video -> Facepalm. So einfach. So genial. Ich werde diese Idee stehlen.

Sunday morning, just finished making my coffee and I get a notification about a Laura Kampf video. This is a good morning! Also, awesome work bench! 👍

No video is ever complete without the appearance of Smudo!

You are as adorable as your cool projects. Very inspiring! Thanks!

Great video. I really like the different very smart custom Things you added to the table

Very cool ! I have been modifying Gorilla platforms for job site quick set up and you have inspired more greatness !

Excellente idée que celle de recycler cet établi. Celle qui consiste à utiliser les rails latéraux de cette façon est encore meilleure 👍 Toujours un plaisir de regarder tes vidéos 😉 Merci

Nice upgrade for that stage pedestal !

This is genius. The camera arm is perfect. The power strip.

One of best videos I've seen in years time. Very insitefull.

Amazing! Simple and elegant in it's function driven design.

My cat was absolutely mesmerized by this bench modification build video.

Hi Laura, at last a video about your work benches. I really like what you've done to improve the bench and make it your own, but i think i would have liked a bit more info on the bench structure itself just to satisfy my curiosity...I'm a bit obsessed about learning how things work. And i'm sure Smudo is going to claim this as his own. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe and keep up the good work. 👍🖖🐶🦴

This one was REALLY interesting :) And as always performed with great skills

I'm Brazilian, I really liked your channel. It deserves all success! Mais um inscrito pro seu canal! 😁💖
